FAQs for Witcombe

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Witcombe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Witcombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Sink repair in Witcombe without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
